Jones Soda Co. Appoints Ronald Dissinger as Interim CFO Amid Leadership Transition

Jones Soda Co. announces the appointment of Ronald Dissinger as Interim Chief Financial Officer, effective November 4, 2024. This change comes in the wake of Joe Culp's resignation, who held the position for five years. Dissinger, who currently serves as a director on the Company’s Board, brings a wealth of financial expertise, having previously held the role of Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at Kellogg Company from 2010 to 2017. His extensive background in financial leadership is expected to provide stability and guidance during this transitional phase for Jones Soda.

Chairman of the Board and Interim Chief Executive Officer Paul Norman expresses gratitude for Culp’s contributions over the years and conveys confidence in Dissinger's ability to navigate the Company’s financial strategies moving forward. The appointment comes at a critical time for Jones Soda, which is known for its innovative offerings in the beverage market, including both traditional sodas and a line of cannabis-infused drinks. As the Company continues to expand its portfolio, having a seasoned financial leader at the helm is crucial for maintaining operational integrity and pursuing growth.

Jones Soda is actively in the process of searching for a permanent Chief Financial Officer to fill the vacancy left by Culp. The Company reassures stakeholders of its commitment to finding a suitable candidate capable of steering its financial operations into the future. Management expresses optimism regarding the selection process, although they acknowledge that forward-looking statements come with inherent uncertainties. This proactive approach reflects Jones Soda’s dedication to maintaining its reputation for quality and innovation in the beverage industry, which has garnered a loyal customer base since its establishment in 1996.

In addition to its leadership transition, Jones Soda continues to emphasize its focus on delivering premium taste and unique flavors. The Company’s products, including those under the award-winning Jones® Soda brand and the Mary Jones cannabis-infused line, remain at the forefront of its operational strategy. As the beverage landscape evolves, Jones Soda’s commitment to innovation positions it well to capitalize on emerging market trends.
